I bought a Brother machine online at Costco which I rarely ever go on their website but it seemed like a great deal and once I purchased it, tried it out, I bought another one for a friend I was teaching how to make quilts. It was such an easy machine to use, had some decorative stitches, came with an extension table and cost less than $300 at the time. It was the Brother XR3140 model. It's lightweight and I use it at one end of my 4x8 cutting table for when I'm attaching long borders, sashing and binding as it gives me the whole table to keep the weight from hanging over. Plus my old bobbins from my Babylock combo machine that I sold fits as well as a few other specility feet I didn't sell with it as they were extras I had purchased.
